Question

1.About five thousand years ago, the rains over the Sahara began to decline and grasslands gave way to desert. The population of this region began to migrate east and south. Describe how the landforms and climate of Africa influenced the way these people lived as they settled in new areas.

Answer 1

Generally speaking, people in Africa tended to live around areas with soil irrigation, which almost always took place by rivers. This is why the Egyptians were such a thriving people--because of their close proximity to the Nile River.
